Biosafety Manual

The Biosafety Manual was established to ensure that academic, research and laboratory activities are conducted in compliance with the provincial and federal laws as well as regulations within a safe work environment. This Biosafety Manual is based on the 2nd editions of both the Canadian Biosafety Standard (CBS) [released in 2015]) and the Canadian Biosafety Handbook (CBH [released in 2016]) by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The CBS covers work with human and terrestrial animal pathogens, toxins and prions.
